C68 Road — Super Record Wireless / Bora Ultra WTO 45

The C68 is built the way Colnago has built carbon frames since the C40: tubes and junctions cured separately, then bonded. What changed with this generation is where the joint sits. The lugs are integrated into the tubes rather than added to them, so the head tube and down tube are one piece, and the bottom bracket shell is formed as part of the seat tube. The frame looks monocoque and is not, which is the point: bonding allows a size run and a level of per-size tuning that a single mould cannot deliver.

Every frame is assembled and finished in Cambiago, and the frame is quoted at 925 g in size 48.5. A titanium-lug version adds 10 g and exposes the joints as a finish choice rather than a structural one. The split head tube is the other structural departure: two halves that can be varied in length independently, which opens more stack and reach combinations than a fixed mould and stiffens the junction at the same time.

The geometry sits marginally lower at the front and longer in reach than the C64, moving the C-series towards current race positions without abandoning its reputation for stability. The reference build pairs Campagnolo Super Record Wireless with Bora Ultra WTO 45 wheels and a CeramicSpeed SLT headset, at 6.95 kg without pedals.
